Takes me through a country wide
Feathered here and there with buttes
Which break the plain to just one side
A single car approaches me
Then whistles by
The last I’ll see
Before sky fades and daylight flies
A single car approaches me
Then whistles by
The last I’ll see
Before sky fades and daylight flies
The specks
On my windshield
Remind me
Revel in this experience
Eyes forward
Movin’ on
Leavin’ all the dust
Behind me
Stale cigarettes
And mildew
Saggy mattress
Flickering lights
A roadtrip is best
Without clear destination
Without a timeline
I dance along the roly poly
Climb and dive and swerve and wiggle
Ocean by my side
Land rising and falling beneath my tires
A yellow stripe
And smooth asphalt
Winding along
The rocky shore between
We approached the ziggurat
Towing over thirty feet of living space
Exiting
The Valley of the Gods
Switchbacks, gravel and steep grades
More than a thousand feet straight up
I wondered
At the wisdom of this drive
Then the thought
Each adventure ever had
Begins with
Just a little bit of faith
I love most the roads
Which take sudden turns
When I see too far ahead
